Road track racing tire size? 2010 SS

Good day fellas, ive had my 2010 SS at road racing track a few times (Castrol in Edmonton Canada) and decided to buy a second set of rims and tires just for track days.
What is the best recommended tire size to use for track road racing? I heard guys running same size all around??
I do have some track susp mods: sway bars/all Poly bushings/ tail arms/toe arms/ front castor plates/springs/shocks/brakes. have a street/track alignment (have to look up my specs).
Having issues with the search feature, so thought I would post.
Thanks, Guys

Square setup is preferred for tracking.

thanks, 69fordkiller why not 20? thought thinner side walls and 20" rims easier to find.

Use a 10 in the front and 11 in the rear and an go 285 or 295 square. Diameter is up to you.
